DeLay is Out-of-Control

Has House Majority Leader Tom DeLay lost his mind? It appears so.

He continues to deny charge of unethical behavior, even though there have been numerous and well-documented events.

He continues to push for removal of Supreme Court justices.

He alleges the "left-wing syndicate", "liberal media", "judicial activism", "journalistic activism" are after him.

He believes he can do no wrong, is always in the right, and others are out to get him.

Such actions are the behavioral symptoms normally associated with a psychopathic individual.

Why is this man still in office? Obviously due to his relationship to the President and fellow Republicans.

House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said DeLay "has always had, and continues to have, the strong support" of the party. "His leadership and dedication to maintaining and growing our numbers are a significant reason for our Republican majority," he added.

Republican leaders had thought they had built a fortress against future trouble by changing House rules in January and by changing the House ethics committee's Republican membership in February to include members closer to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) and DeLay.

DeLay's legal defense fund received contributions from two of the new ethics committee members, Smith and Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.). The committee admonished DeLay three times last year. Republican leaders later sought the rule changes that made it more difficult to bring new ethics charges against Republicans.

Not only is DeLay out-of-control, so is the entire political structure.
